Design And Development Of Test Rigs To Experimentally Investigate Flow Loss And Heat Transfer In A Stirling Engine Heater Head, Pawan K. Yadav Jan 2018

Design And Development Of Test Rigs To Experimentally Investigate Flow Loss And Heat Transfer In A Stirling Engine Heater Head, Pawan K. Yadav

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

The Stirling engines are attractive alternative for combined heat and power (CHP) systems, especially for high efficiency power generation using different heat sources. The hot side heat exchanger or heater head (HH) is one of the indispensable components of Stirling engines which transfers the heat from outside of the system into the working fluid. For development of a low cost, highly efficient and reliable CHP system, a novel HH has been designed and additively manufactured from Inconel 625. For the investigation of flow loss and heat transfer through this Stirling engine heater head, two benchtop test rigs were designed, developed, …
